Foreword

This book is an imaginary walk with people and characters from the past, starting from the 1950s. I hope you will find it amusing. The names of the villages have been changed. In those days, most people were known by their nicknames. During this walk, I will discuss the secrets of life which I have been shown in dreams and spiritual teachings. This may help you understand the true meaning of life and why it appears to be unfair, with some people having good lives and others having horrible lives. It is all in accordance with the Dream.

The Dreamer

by John Davis

In the silent darkness there lies a thought

and into life you were brought.

All that was meant to be

was created by the power of three.

Sound and Light are Its tools

for those who know these are the jewels.

Things are not what they seem;

we are ALL in the Dreamer’s dream.

Why are we here? many ask.

To find the answer is your task.

It’s not so hard if you are keen;

call the Master of the Dream.

He’ll meet you in that silent dark;

from then on, you will never part.

If its truth you have sought,

give this a careful thought.

The sustaining power from above

is the power known as love.

If It didn’t love its dream so dear,

all creation would disappear.

Come with me on this walk;

we can laugh and have a talk.

Never mind the wind and rain;

you may never think the same again.

Now there’s a thought!

Chapter 1

Is there a Creator?

C:\Users\TOSHIBA\Pictures\JW\C1.jpg s I look out of the window, the dark, dismal rain clouds hurry past, driven by a gusty south west wind, and disappear behind the trees on Abbot Hill. I remember, as a child of 10, squeezing myself inside an old car tyre and rolling down the hill, then getting out at the bottom staggering like a drunk until the giddiness wore off. The rain taps on the window, then slowly slides down the glass onto the stone windowsill before dripping onto the ground, the end of its journey. A bit like us, really, at the end of our journey; we end up in the ground one way or another. Or do we?

My thoughts drift off to some warm and sunny beach and clear blue skies. Who needs the rain? My eye falls on the flowers in my small but well-stocked garden. They look a picture when the sun shines on them. What did I just say? Who needs the rain? Of course – life does, for without it, what would there be? Just a bare desert. Life – now there’s the mystery, with all its many forms and complexities ever struggling to survive.

Come on, let’s put our macs and wellies on and have a walk in the rain. I can tell you as we go what has been revealed to me about life and some of its hidden mysteries by the Master of the Dream – because things are not what they seem. I must close the gate or nextdoor’s dog comes in and buries his bones. Look out! That was Rusty, Albert’s Alsatian that’s just rushed past chasing Blacky, the Post Office cat. Look at them both sliding on the wet pavement as they round the corner, oblivious to us or the rain. See the village ducks waddling across the road and plopping like floating corks into the pond at the edge of the green. Their ducklings almost run to keep up and then throw themselves off the bank into the water, huddling round their parents.

Now here’s a point worth thinking about. All life reproduces itself – animal, vegetable and mineral. Let’s sit in the bus shelter for a moment and have a ponder on sex and reproduction – I see your eyes lighting up – for if ever there was a miracle, this is certainly one. Life is sacred, but alas, most people pass through it without a thought, just to live and die. Let’s take the time to look at life, and please keep an open mind.

All life on this Earth has the ability to reproduce, and in some species, there appears to be some form of love, whilst in others, it is just an act of sex. But this reproduction must have been there at the very beginning of life when primitive life forms were first created. Now this is the question for you to think about: was life created or was it by accident? Maybe there’s another slant to this question you may not have looked at. It could be that life needs a form to live in and it was the form that was created. If this is the case, life is one all-embracing thing, whether it be in a fish, tree, man or worm, and it is the form that has been created by life for life. One thing we must agree on, that there must be some form of intelligence connected to these phenomena of form and sex. Now scientists are beginning to unravel and understand the formation of DNA, the building blocks of the form, so even the scientists must agree that intelligence must have been involved. This takes us back to the question accident or design?. There can be no doubt it was not by accident as this would be impossible; therefore, there must be a creator in one form or another.

This leads us to another question: Why a continuation of the form and life? This must have been planned because of the unique and complex way the form is recreated for life to control it. This brings us to the most important point to consider: Are life and form two separate phenomena or are they one? If they are one, where has the life force gone while the form is decaying after death? The energy needed to control the form cannot be destroyed, so it must be a separate phenomenon to the form. At this point, it would be logical to consider yourself as not the form but the energy that controls the form. In simple terms, you are life.

The rain has eased off, so let’s walk
